At 6:40 in the morning, while Yang Huan and Zhang Ning were still sleeping soundly in the double room of the Grand Harbour Hotel, Ferguson was already driving his Chevrolet Capaci to the road leading to the Carrington Training Base. Narrow road.
Although most of the British people are still asleep in the warm bed at this hour, there are still some fans waiting by the roadside. They may not be reporters, but just to be able to take a photo of him and tell themselves Friends show off.
Whenever he saw them, Ferguson would habitually smile and nod his head in greeting, but never stopped.
At 6:50, he parked the car in the parking lot of the Carrington Training Base on time, in the parking space dedicated to him.
When got out of the car, he was breathing Carrington's air, as if he could smell a football.
The new season is getting closer, and the **** smell of fighting is getting stronger and stronger.
Losing the league title last season, Ferguson felt very depressed and annoyed. Especially at Old Trafford, his 2-1 defeat by Ancelotti's Chelsea made the Scottish coach feel ashamed.
That game not only caused Manchester United to lose its position as the leader of the league table, but also determined the title of the league for the entire season.
It can be said that Manchester United lost the league title by themselves!
After a summer, Manchester United did not have heavy signings in the transfer market, but introduced stars such as Smalin and Hernandez and young rookies, and Chelsea is about the same, only with 18 million pounds. Brought in the Brazilian midfielder Ramirez, and spent six million to bring in Benayoun from Liverpool.
On the contrary, it is Manchester City. This rival in the same city has successively introduced outstanding stars such as David Silva, Kolarov, Yaya Toure, Jerome Boateng, Milner, and Balotelli. It is foreseeable that this team will pose a threat to Manchester United and Chelsea in the new season.
Standing next to Kopac, breathing the fresh air of Carrington, Ferguson felt full of energy.
The more challenging he is, the more he can stimulate his desire to win.
The stronger the stronger, this has always been his strong point!
Walking into the Carrington Training Building, Ferguson could find his office with his eyes closed.
At seven o'clock exactly, he is already sitting in front of his desk, about to start a new day of work.
"Boss." Assistant coach Mike Perrin appeared outside his office with a big bald head.
Next to him is another Dutch coach René Mullenstein who is highly valued and appreciated by Ferguson.
"Come in!" Ferguson was not surprised to see that they were two people. They communicated and held meetings every day. He would be surprised if he didn't see them one day.
"Boss, there is a problem." Mike Perrin and Mullenstein looked at each other and said helplessly.
"What's the problem?" Ferguson was in a good mood and asked with a smile.
Mike Perrin looked at Mullenstein again. The Dutchman was obviously unmoved. In desperation, he could only choose to speak on his own, "I just received news from my agent Raiola, Paul Borg. Bar and LaVille Morrison are considering leaving the team."
Ferguson's hand, who was packing up some documents on the desk, suddenly stopped. It felt like the second hand of a clock suddenly stopped moving, which was very abrupt.
"What? Consider leaving the team?" Ferguson was surprised.
LaVille Morrison is a direct line of Manchester United's youth training. He grew up in the Manchester United youth training camp. He is currently the most talented star in Carrington, and Pogba is not too much. He is from France, Manchester United. He did not hesitate to make a lot of promises for him, and risked being sued by Le Havre.
In June of this year, it took Manchester United a year before it was able to get Le Havre, and the two sides reached a settlement.
But just in August, he said he would consider leaving the team?
"They want to play for the first team and get more opportunities." Mike Perrin said helplessly.
The professional football is now more and more harassed by the media. Many young players have begun to have the idea of becoming famous as soon as possible, and fans and the media have become increasingly demanding for young players.
A few years ago, twenty years old was considered a rookie, but now, twenty years old is considered an old man.
Messi was already a world footballer when he was 22.
Pogba and Morrison are both 17 years old, and they require more first-team game experience. This is understandable. After all, the next two years will be the time when they have the best skills, and it can even be said that they will determine their careers. crucial moment.
"Why are they?" Ferguson sneered.
Two 17-year-old kids, dare to ask for more first-team games?
Mike Perrin sighed, "In fact, they also want a promise, but it is their agent Raiola. I think this guy is very difficult, maybe he instigated the players to make demands."
"Hmph!" Ferguson snorted coldly. A few days ago, Ravel Morrison decided to change his agent temporarily. He thought this was a bit unusual. Raiola was notoriously difficult for European football.
"I think Morrison has talent and potential, but he grew up in a severely fragmented family since he was a child. Gang fights, intimidates, steals, and often misses training. In our files, he is a genius on the football field. But under the football field, he was seriously disqualified. So, I personally think that sending him away from Manchester temporarily is not a bad thing."
Mike Perrin said that the temporary leave is more about loaning than transfer.
"Pogba's problem is more troublesome. We promised to give him more opportunities at the beginning. That's why he chose Manchester United from Le Havre. And I think he really has the strength to gain a foothold in the first team, playing as a substitute and Cup matches are still possible."
Mike Perrin's words made Ferguson think.
Rene Mullenstein on the side of is a bit regretful. In his opinion, this does not require thinking at all.
Although Pogba and Morrison are rookies, they are 17 years old and they are capable and should give him more opportunities.
In fact, Manchester United has always had a problem in recent years. Strictly speaking, it is Ferguson’s problem, that is, the local complex.
At the same age of seventeen or eighteen, he can reuse Fletcher, Evans, Cleverly and other players, can give them opportunities, and even give them a more relaxed environment for making mistakes, but for some foreign players, Ferguson’s attitude It's very conservative.
Because he has always believed that foreign teams are less loyal to the team.
This has made Manchester United’s youth training in a very embarrassing situation in the past few years. On the one hand, Fletcher, Evans, Cleverley and other players were unable to provoke the backbone, while on the other hand, it was Jie. Players such as Rad Pique, Rossi and others left the team but quickly became independent.
Mullenstein used to be an important employee in the youth academy. He knew the specifics, but he couldn’t say anything.
Is he going to tell Ferguson, old man, you have a strong local hukou complex, and you discriminate against foreign players?
"Tell Raiola!" After thinking for a few minutes, Ferguson made a decision. "I will not give players any promises about whether they will be promoted to the first team. We are Manchester United and will not compromise on anyone. "
Mike Perrin listened and sighed in his heart. After all, Ferguson is still unwilling to move the structure of the first team.
To give young people more opportunities is actually reducing the opportunities for Fletcher, Anderson and other first team players.
This is a trade-off. There is no way to say that it must be right or wrong. The key depends on the head coach.
"In addition, the preparations for the new season are over, and young players such as Pogba and Morrison are returned to the youth team. We must streamline the first team and prepare for the new season." Ferguson waved his hand and announced the result with a black face.
Mike Perrin and Mullenstein looked at each other, and they saw each other's helplessness.
This is a punishment for two players!
may even be directly blacklisted.
Ferguson is still the original Ferguson after all, it hasn’t changed for decades!

When Ferguson's mood throughout the day became terrible since arriving in Carrington in the morning, Yang Huan woke up early in the morning but received a series of good news.
First, Raiola told Yang Huan that Ibrahimovic is already seriously considering joining Southampton.
"He saw your interview, he thinks you are the same kind of people!"
Then Raiola told Yang Huan that the 18-year-old Isco, who played for Valencia, finally agreed to join Southampton.
Although Valencia sold away the twin stars of David Silva and David Villa this season, the team still sits on Juan Mata, Banega, Joaquin, Vicente and other strengths. There are not many opportunities for young Isco to send stars.
This season, Valencia’s second team was relegated from Spain’s third-level Spanish C League to the fourth-level Westin League. This has left countless young rookies of the Bat Corps feeling extremely disappointed because the club’s investment in youth training has increased. It's getting worse, and young players are getting less and less hopeful.
In this case, Isco has no reason to reject the gracious invitation from Southampton. At least he can get a professional contract that is much higher than Valencia and a brighter future.
After receiving Raiola's call, Yang Huan received a call from Nicolas Cortes.
Many Southampton fans were waiting at the ticket office outside St. Mary’s Stadium early this morning, actively snapping up Southampton season tickets for the new season, which will inject a boost from the always weak season ticket sales. UU Read wwwww . uukanshu.com is expected to sell more than 15,000 season tickets.
This is simply unbelievable for Southampton in the past.
According to Nicola Cortez, the reason why many Southampton fans snapped up the team's season tickets was because they were instigated and influenced by the new owner Yang Huan.
"Master Huan, they all think that your interview is too motivating. They not only want to order the season tickets for the team, but also plan to organize an official fan meeting. Every future game, whether at home or away, Everyone came to the scene to cheer for the team, I have agreed."
Yang Huan was also happy to hear, "Agree well, not only to agree, but also to support vigorously. The club can even allocate a certain amount of funds to help fan organizations and community services, which will help improve our team atmosphere and Image."
"I understand." Nicolas Cortes nodded and agreed.
"I called Matthew Le Tissier last night and invited him to be the manager of the team's fan service department. He agreed. You can arrange it." Yang Huan casually ordered.
Inviting Matthew Le Tissier to him is just a phone call, and this Southampton star undoubtedly has high prestige in the fan community. His joining can help Southampton better deal with fans, Good interaction in the community.
"Okay, I will do it."
Yang Huan hung up Nikolai Cortez's call, thinking about having a sweet breakfast with Zhang Ning.
But another call came in from here.
is Zhu Liangcheng impressively.
